Ok. Here is the deal. We cut our hair super short and look amazing with it. But after a while we let it go because we haven’t made time for ourselves and are like, “Well- I’ll just keep going and see where I end up.” Usually one of two things will happen at this point-
1) Your hair is at this weird stage where you look like a not so chic chick from the 1920s or a mean little elf and so you just chop it all off again
or
2) You live through this state somehow and make it to the other side!!!! (Below your ears and/or chin).
Now some people no doubt can pull of that look- take every woman with a perfect oval shape face and cute little pixie features….but most people can’t. So we deal. We throw on headbands, use bobby pins in ways we never imagined, or resort to our preteens and wear animal barrettes…or maybe you don’t. Anyways- here are some celebs that have lived to tell the tale of the journey to long luscious locks.
MICHELLE WILLIAMS:
(WEIRD MIDDLE STAGE…C’MON, MICHELLE…YOU CAN DO IT!!!)
HOORAY!
NATALIE PORTMAN: Starting from scratch:
(if you guessed this as the awkward stage- you are CORRECT!!!)
(AND SHE MADE IT!)
KERIA KNIGHTLY:
(BINGO- “WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR HAIR STAGE?”)
Now, I don’t really know at what times these hairstyles occurred in the actual celebrities life, I just thought they were pretty good examples of the stages of growing their hair out. You can always tell the weird growing out phases- like you know something is wrong, you just can’t put your finger on it. But in order to grow it out- you must hold steady and brace yourself.
Just do what we all do- pin it, clip it, bear with it, wear a hat, tuck it behind your ears, wear little pig tails, throw a headband in it…work with it. Also, an actual word of advice- look for pictures of people with hair at similar lengths as yours- even having it shaped up a little will give you somewhat of a style other than just letting it go completely. You still need to have it “de-bulked” and cleaned up. Don’t worry, kiddo- you will get there in time. May the Hair Gods be with you!
According to Google.
According to search engine Google, the two are in possession of the most-searched for celebrity haircuts of 2011, with more people carrying out searches for pictures of the pair’s crops than any other celebrity style
That Dress might be important, but nothing is more important than your hair.

Are you over your BOB?
Are you letting your hair grow, but no matter what you do it’s not growing fast enough and you just can’t seem to get your hair to look different?
Well take a hint from Charlize Theron’s hair from the premiere of her new movie “Young Adult”
I love this! Just take your one length cut add some curls and separation. Next thing you know you have a whole new style!
P.S. This new movie looks good!

Looking for some fun Holiday Hair recipes? Check out these yogurt recipes for winter hair care:
”
1. Dandruff is a common hair problem during winter and this is why, you can prevent or get rid of dandruff using yogurt.
2. You can simply use yogurt on the hair and scalp few minutes before taking bath. Yogurt is an excellent product for dry hair.
3. Beat yogurt and then apply on the hair and scalp. Leave for 30-45 minutes and then rinse of with lukewarm water. Use a mild shampoo if required.
4. Yogurt and honey is a perfect recipe for winter care! Beat yogurt and add few drops of honey to it. Apply on the hair and leave for 30-45 minutes. This conditions the hair and stores the moisture therefore preventing the hair from becoming dry.
5. Yogurt when mixed with olive oil makes up an effective hair care recipe. You can add olive oil to the previous hair mask recipe. Mix yogurt and add few drops of honey and olive oil.
6. One of the yogurt recipes for hair care is yogurt and egg hair mask. This mask increases hair growth and strengthens the roots.
7. Beat and egg while whipping yogurt and then apply on the hair. The best way to apply this yogurt mask is by parting hair lines an applying on the exposed scalp. This way, you apply the mask properly. Leave it for an hour and then rinse off with cold water and use a mild shampoo.
8. Mash a banana and add it to the beaten yogurt. Apply this paste on the hair and leave for 30-45 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water and little shampoo.
These are few yogurt recipes for healthy hair. Yogurt improves hair growth, strengthens roots, acts as a natural conditioner and helps set the hairstyle. Always apply little hair oil before applying any yogurt mask on the hair. This prevents the hair from tangling and breakage.
Here is a photo recap of our recent trip to The International Art Show: Art Basel.
I was really drawn to the geometric shapes from all of these pieces. I love the way inspiration from art translates into a creative spark for hair! I think it’s so important to find inspiration in alternative outlets outside of the industry.
Essentially this blog will act as an inspirational board for a look I will create! From this point I will build a design element on a head form and create a look inspired by all of the works showcased on this post. From the head form I will use my “map” to create the look on a block (mannequin). I will showcase the process of this design from start to finish. My hope is that this will promote you to do the same! Stay tuned!!!
